| Summary | 0009606: Crossbowman mercenaries cannot be assigned to squads | ||||
| Description | While most types of mercenaries can be assigned to squads, crossbowmen don't show up in the list. This may also apply to knife-users, bowmen, and/or blowgunners, as I haven't had mercenaries of any of those yet. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Accept crossbowman mercenary's petition to soldier at the fort 2. Try to put crossbowman in a squad | ||||
| Additional Information | Save is at http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11822 | ||||

Since you've assigned other mercenaries, you probably already know this, but just in case, try assigning him the number 2 slot of the squad as mercenaries can't lead squads right now. |
|
|
Yeah, I wasn't trying to assign to the first slot. Since this save one of my human crossbowman mercenaries petitioned for citizenship, and now he shows as available. |
|
|
Have you tried assigning the mercenaries via v->p instead of the military screen? Might be a workaround (I don't have a crossbowman merc in my fort, so can't test). |
|
|
Crossbow squad with mercs seems to work just fine in 42.06. Just made a squad with a dwarf captain, 3 human crossbow mercs and a human archer merc (all long-term residents, no citizens). No issues - they train, they follow orders, they shoot goblins. The only thing you can't do is set a merc to slot 1. |
|
|
Yeah I can't seem to reproduce this either. I may have selected slot 1 on accident while scrolling. This can probably be closed. |
